TEHRAN, April 17 (ICANA) – TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned that the US and its regional allies have hatched plots to take advantage of uprisings in the Middle-East and North Africa, and said Washington's autocratic attitude and its support for dictatorial regimes are the root cause of problems in the region.

"Today all actions taken by the US and certain regional countries in Bahrain, which are seeking to derail the popular movement by oppressing people and destroying mosques, are watched and studied by nations," Larijani said at the beginning of an open session of the parliament on Sunday.

He viewed the dictatorial and colonialist behavior of the US as the root cause of all problems in the region, and warned Washington that its attitude towards the regional people and uprisings is convincing the world to compare the nature and behavior of the US rulers with those of Stalin and Hitler.

Larijani at the end underlined the Iranian people and government's strong support for the regional nations' uprisings against tyrannical rulers.

Political observers believe that people's uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen and Libya are the result of growing "Islamic awakening" in the Middle-Eastern countries.

People in the Middle-East now believe that the western approach to the ongoing revolutions in these countries has unveiled the true nature of the West's stance on democracy.

The United States and certain other western countries have adopted a double-standard approach towards the popular protests against the dictatorial regimes in the region.

Political observers also believe that the recent uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain and Jordan are the result of America's double standards in the Middle-East and its biased policies against different nations.
